“Bar Brawling Vol. 3” is one volume in the series of brawling skill magazines. In 7 Days to Die, magazines work by raising your proficiency in their associated skill line as you read them, and this series can be thought of as content that boosts combat with bare fists and knuckle-type weapons (Knuckle Wraps / Brass Knuckles, etc.). As the internal name “KillerInstinct” suggests, this is a line that, as the volumes progress, leads to strengthening the more aggressive aspects such as damage dealt and special effects.
How to Get It
Magazines are, as a rule, best obtained by picking them up while exploring various parts of the world. In addition to houses, bookshelves, and loot containers, you can also acquire them from trader stock and quest rewards. Brawling magazine drops tend to appear more often the more you invest in the related perks (the Strength tree), so if you’re running a fist-fighting build, they should naturally accumulate.
When to Use It
A perfect match for players who excel at melee and stamina management and want to fight without relying on ammo. If you’re making fist knuckles your main weapon in the early to mid game, reading these volumes as soon as you find them will stabilize a playstyle where you halt zombies with knockdowns while beating them down. Collect the whole series and complete your brawler.
